Book 1 of the contemporary fiction series "The 5 Boroughs" by Nicola Noble.
Donna Giannino knows what it's like to "walk through the fire." She's a survivor. She has the scars to prove it. And although her physical scars have mended, it's the wounds to her soul that won't heal. Once full of life, she's isolated herself from the world outside of the thick walls she's created for herself.
Unable to overcome her past, especially the night that left
both her body and her spirit broken; she's living a half-life,
where the only way she feels safe is in her little bubble.
After all, there's wine and chocolate there.
By day, she's an editor at a publishing company in Manhattan. By night, she's a Brooklynite shut in. The only variances are scheduled ahead of time and only happen if they involve her family or one of her close friends. It's the only way she feels safe.
But is living a half-life really living? How do you make yourself whole again? How do you learn to trust again? How do you overcome the fear left behind after a brutal attack?
